Incoming ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott vowed to complete outgoing CEO John Donahoe's vision of taking the cloud software giant to $10 billion in revenue: "I look forward to achieving it."Donahoe, who has agreed to become Nike's CEO, introduced McDermott to financial analysts during ServiceNow's third-quarter earnings call.
Donahoe, who is stepping down to become CEO of Nike, had set this goal after he took over in 2017. McDermott affirmed that goal after Donahoe introduced him to analysts on the ServiceNow's earnings call.He said ServiceNow, with a market cap of $41 billion, had an impressive and "pristine" platform with plenty of room to grow organically, in a strong suggestion that acquisitions would not be a key part of the company's strategy as it had been during his tenure leading SAP.
But McDermott told analysts that he would proceed with caution about using the same playbook at ServiceNow. Donahoe told analysts he was leaving ServiceNow to pursue "a calling I had to pursue." He became CEO of eBay after Meg Whitman stepped down in 2008. He left seven years later PayPal was spun off. He took time off to travel, meditate and watch Van Morrison concerts, he's said.
He cited one example, "orchestration," which is enterprise-speak for coordinating the roll out of a product or initiative. "It was my first week here," he said, and he found himself asking, "What are all these words?" "I'm still learning 'enterprise," he said. "And I have all the humility in the world to learn."
